2 Wragical Termination of the Boston Flogging Affur, OUR BOSTON COSRESPONDENCE. Boston, Dee. 4, 1955, She Last Case of Murder—Al the Particulars—Shocking Condition of Massachusetts Morais—Pre Coburn and Dal- wm Affair has a Pragical Ending, de , de. On the appearance of the evening papers of to-day, our eitizens were startled by the ery from the newsboys, “Death of Sumner! Arrest of Cobura sud Datton for murder!” In every Bostoman this announcement pro- @uced a terrible excitemsnt, although the cause would hardly be understood elsewhere. The ‘* Cobara and Dal- ton affair,” while it has excited the most intense iarest in this cfty, has hardly besn alluded to in any other place. Inno New York paper have I seen the least men- tion of it, It will not be uninteresting, then, to recount ‘the whole affair, from its worse thaa milly beginning to its tragic end. Messrs. Edward 0, Coharn and Frank Dalton are two young gentlemen of this city, tailors’ clerks, who are ‘Dleesed with wives who are said to be fonder of flirting than the society of their Lege lords. They wore, it is said, in the habit of devoticg most of their time to promenacing on Washington street, or wandering into eontectionary saloons, for the frequbnting of which they had a grea: fancy. In one of these they chanced one day to mcet little counsellor, Josian Porter, » young man devoted to the study of the law, military pursuits, be is lieutenant in the Boston City Gaards,) and the fascinations of the fair sex; and a Mr. Wm. Sumner a young man of 19, a near relative of the distinguished Senator, and whose parents reside at Mitton, Mass. Allured vy the charms of these two enticing matrons, they addressed them, formed an acquainvance which repialy advanced into intimacy, and wnich finaly be- ame known to the husbands, But, be it undarstood, there young women were on far more tender terms with very many others, cefore their acquaintance with Porter and Sumner; tuis tact was pcoved at the examination which foliowed, and of which shall speak in due course. ‘The first that was known». the matter by the pubii:, was the arraignment of C> urn und Daltoa before tne Police Conrt, ona charg? ot assaulting Porter on Satur- day, Novensber 17, in wn aggravated manner, with canes ana sticks. By auuccident, the husbands had become acquainted witn the snortoomlogs of theie partuers, aad took this method of revengieg themselves. They forsed Mus, C burn, touch against her will, to wre ths follow- ng note to Porter, which he reseived on Saturday morn- ir z Sarorpay, A.M. My Dean Frrexp—T am anxious to see you this A.M. at IL @o'oek, al ny hore, a8 tay huabind ta onto wen,” He sare aud some, us L wank ty see yon very mach. Please not us: tion this Air. Buuiner, Your friend, as ever, F. Porter recoguived the handwriting, and proceeded to Mra, Coburn’s 1e¢dence, No. 84 Shawmut avenue, as soon as possible. He had never visited the house before Dut on his arrival be was ushered into the parlor by the servant. He heard voices of men in the entry, which proved to belovg to Coburn and Dalton, whom, until vben, Le lad never seen. In reply to their foqniries, he said he wished to see Mrs. Conurn, whereupon they in- sisted on dis going up stairs. He objected, bat a» th urged him, be complied. As soon as he reached the top @ the stairs, a suilianly attack war commenced on him by the two men, one of whom seized his arms foom be Biss, and doth vest him over the head with sticks. The manger of the sseault was very fally testified to at the examination, by Mr. Porter, whose fave dove untalstake- abe mark of severe treatment. It is not necsssary to the pariiculars ot this part of the affute; sutiice y that, amid the coufurion and the screans of the women, irver finally succeeded iu extricating him wl ond running away. He went to a physicion and had his wouncs dressed, avd subsequently ent ‘the complaint. It appeared, by the teatimony, that Por- ter did netknow Mrs. Coburn was married until somo time efter bis firt aequsintance with ber, He had met Fer aud Mrs, Dult’n (the two ludies are sisters) at places of amusement, and quite often in the street, bat he efirmed that there was no criminality. Porter had re- @ived in addition o the “deooy letter” of Saturday, one ether epistie, which read as follows:— ONESDAY MORNING To 4 Dean Fuiexp.—According to prom'se, I now address yeu # few lines, which | hone will please yat ( fear it will not, ‘Se I feel rather dull to day, and not having received one from you Hs yet, I really know no? what 1 know toa wil @xcuve ibis be It what it will, and accept my exoase, You alrendy know my opinion os regards writing; vet [ lay aside those, for 1 do want to hear trom you, ## I caanot sea you.

The upshot Of this ebopier ot the #tory Was, that the valiant defwad- ents were each required to give bailin the sam of $890 to appear at the ‘So much tor in a few days it exme out that there snobe m ed the litle counselor for re- oaiv ing ‘lovy-dovy” barbiogers of Mrs. Coburn’s divi ted affestions, bat hey likewire enticed the strip Ing Sumner foto their ‘house of correction” on the very same after Boop, and beat him witooot stint or merey.

Tublic incignatim was strong against the defen- Gants, and at o.e time it was apprehended that the house 84 Shawmut street would be destroyed wome night by a mob.

The sncoess of the democratic party in Nicaragua has probably been the subject of @ paragraph fo nearly every newspaper in ‘he United States, but few Journale that reach ua here seem to weigh the matter by a prop:r standard. Do not the people of the United States kuow that henceforth there is to be a new order of things here, or are they asleep? Let me explain: A few months ego Gen, Walker arrived at Rivas, with » handful of mea; fought @ desperate battle; was defeated; retrested, re- eruited, and, ina few weeks, fought the battle of Virgin Ba y,pusbed his advantage, and shortly thereafier stood in the plaza at Granada, declaring pesce where war had existed continually for three years, and pericdically for twerty. Peace has since been maintained, and will ccptinue, The people of the United States have been accustomed to look on Walker as a robber, a pirate; and the tera fillous- ier bas been thought the mildest expression that could de- teribe his character. I well remember with what holy 2or- tor the people of New York would look at me, amonth ago when I professed a friendship for Gen. Walker and » sym- pathy with bis cause; and yet these same men always pull off their hate avd buzzah when the name of Lafsy- wtte is mentioned ins pubite speech. They are not to be blamed, of course, for their love of the memory cf la- fayette; but if they are ccnsisient it will not ba long be- fore they will cry enthusiastically, ‘Viva Walker !”” as ali Nicaragua does to-day.” The reports of the differext battles in which Walker ‘and 1s gallant little band have been engaged here, have already reached you. As mere military news they are of little interest, as they only go to substentiate what the Texan and the Mexican war proved over and cvor a thyu- sand times—that a body of Americans will face with suc” cess, when weil armed and in good condition, ax many of the Spanish American solciers as you please, let the nun- ber be more or less. The importance of the news ia, how ever, very great, for It foreshadows the destiny of all Central America, which is simply that in a few yeavs the sorth American system will be the guide of all those states—that North Americans will be eucou age} to come bitberward—that they will come, wad that this dewutiful land will soon overflow with the richness ot its resources, Ever sivee the declaration of independence made by the different States of Ceo'ral Ameiica, the oouatry nas oven the theate of constaut brvil and ctw commotion, tue eflect of which has been very naturally of course, t3 im- poverirh its inbabitanta snd corrupt the morals of tue people, Ide not deem it necessary to gy lato » vf the canres ofthe war just ended; but it ix enouga to suy thatthe democratic pacty of the country inviied Gen, Walker to uid fa the detest of tae aristucratic party.
